Nunu Philadelphia

Creative Asian fusion food and cocktails

Holly from Philadelphia

""Nunu" is an Asian fusion bar/restaurant in Philadelphia. I love it best on a cold day when I'm craving a cocktail and warm snacks. Perfect for dates!"

I love Nunu best on a cold day when I'm craving a cocktail and warm snacks. The cozy atmosphere here is perfect for pre-gaming a night out or meeting your sweetie for an intimate drink and shared plates.

First order of business is what to drink. Nunu has a very approachable menu with draft whiskey highballs, sake, shochu, and several unique house cocktails. You've got to try the Little Green Monster made with gin, becherovka, matcha tea and egg white. Or my favorite, the Jiro Dreams of Cuba, like a mojito made with shochu and served straight up.

The food menu is equally inviting and full of both classic and surprising Asian-inspired snacks: albacore tataki, milkbread toast, a variety of skewers, and high-quality sushi creations. (Love the rabbi roll which is a fun take on the classic Philly roll.)

Nunu is situated on Frankford Avenue in the Fishtown neighborhood, easily accessible via the Market-Frankford line. It's about a ten-minute walk if you get off at Girard station.

About me I'm a travel professional, writer and photographer. I grew up in the Philly area, moved as far away as I could when I was 18 (Hi, Alaska!), then went to college in Hawaii, and finally returned to Philly for good in 2011. I am happy to spend my life exploring the world, whether it's across an ocean or down the street. Why Philadelphia I knew I loved Philly when I came home from living across the country. I got on the Septa train at the airport and the man in front of me turned around and excitedly said, "You see the Iggles play last night?" Then wi...

Laurel Hill Cemetery

I see dead people

"Laurel Hill Cemetery" in Philadelphia is equal parts public garden, sculpture park, historical campus and graveyard. It's a truly special spot...

How "Night Kitchen" get its cinnamon rolls to absorb so much butter is one of the great mysteries of Philadelphia. It's my favorite bakery in Chestnut Hill.

Mummers Concerts

So local

The only reason I know about the Mummers Concerts in Philadelphia is because I lived behind the small 'park' for over 10 years! Can't get more local...
